Does anyone remember a tune by an Irish synth pop duo in the mid 80's the video was played on MTUSA all the time, it had a guy dressed as Marcel Marceau with some crappy chroma key/blue screen effects, its killing me trying to remember!

Just found out from someone on retro forum, is pretty awful and far from indie but was only a young fella when it came out, I think the video and vocoder effect stuck in my mind all these years! Some nice shots of Dublin back in the day.

How can all reference to Bridesmaids Never Brides by The Carrellines possibly have disappeared from the face of the earth?? One of the best Irish pop singles ever and I haven't heard sight nor sound of it in 20 years.

Here's a link to Bridemaids never Brides

Part of one of the best ever Irish EPs imo -

Berkeley are/were a fantastic but very underrated band from Donegal as well.

Some really cracking tunes in this thread the track above and scheer are among the forgotten songs I am glad to be reunited with.
Engine alley already posted but I remember meeting them backstage,they all signed my backstage pass(college gig) and a peck from the gorgeous Emmaline (or maybe I imagined that:D)

Interestingly enough the guitarist from Compulsion now produces Snow Patrol's records.

Actually that's not that interesting.

Forget I said anything.
